Im looking for a set of 1:1 skirmish rules for the pirate era that focuses on the miniature as an individual pirate with abilities or disadvantages. I am not so concerned about the naval aspect of it more of the man to man combat.
thanks in advance for the help |

"Under the Black Flag" from Rattrap is just the thing! |

What about Blood and Swash/Thunder and Plunder by Surdu and Palmer. Thanks, John |

Legends of the High Seas by GW historicals may also be worth a look. How many figures are you hoping to use? Do yo need campaign rules? |

Legends of the High Seas would surely work for your needs, especially if you want to run a campaign where the crew can improve and gain new skills. |

ARES from MJ12 is what you want.
We use it for Pirates, both figure and sea, and it works very well. |

I use Savage Worlds. There's free "test drive" versions of the role-playing version of the rules here: PDF link and the skirmish rules here: PDF link If you want all the setting specific pirate fluff there's Savage Worlds: Pirates of the Spanish Main: link Not cheap but well done and loads of useful stuff! |
